Awesome, thanks Alex.

 

I do have wheels and motor still to upload, where does the archive end? 2007?

2016 back to 1967, though there's issues missing from the earliest decades here and there

Awesome thread guys! 

Will try and contribute a little with some work resources haha, our Wheels and Motor archive has recently gone public almost all the way back to 1953, all that's available can be viewed online.

Here's November 1990 from Wheels, behind the pits with Skiafe at Bathurst

Unfortunately missing the original July 89' piece where the "Godzilla" moniker was born...

I am glad you are liking it Alex as I am the nutter progressively raiding my archives and scanning anything BNR32 GT-R related so it can be viewed by anyone interested in it!  In your line of work though I reckon you would be well versed on what that entails!

I have the original July 1989 Wheels issue so if not uploaded already it will be soon.  Here is a copy of the cover as a tempter.  :-)59b679df9fe6c_WheelsJuly19891Of3.thumb.jpg.beede6af344a1ca922c9fc9db1d379d5.jpg

I will hopefully upload more in a week or so after my 24 hours of LeMons event this weekend.

Here are some pics from Retro round at Sandown over the weekend.IMG_20170916_133559314_HDR.thumb.jpg.8f8a150015e5487f204d97e624578711.jpgIMG_20170916_134050031_HDR.thumb.jpg.c9a2dc6f38dcf55ca41b989fc62c767a.jpgRGP-2017Wilson-Security-Sandown-500Sat-a49v3241.jpg.9a211c95440552873abd4116deee6b49.jpg

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      AC not coming from top vents

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
